I hate stores that adopt this.
I go to the more expensive grocery store in my town simply because they never move anything. I can get my staples, vegetables, and eggs at the pace of a brisk walk. I'm in and out in under fifteen minutes.
They did move the organic section once about ten years ago. People still bring it up.

In the UK, the supermarkets were extremely prone to confusing deals (like two-for-one and worse), but they dialed that down a lot since Aldi and Lidl entered the market with much, much simpler propositions. Customers might fall for your shenanigans once already in the shop, but it turns out they do prefer shops with fewer shenanigans in the first place.
- mrweasel 2y agoThat's an interesting observation, Aldi is now defunct in Denmark, but Lidl share one objection I had to Aldi, I can't find anything. It's true that Lidl doesn't really move their stuff around much, but they constantly have "limited time product" that will just go where ever they have room. The location of many regular products also seem completely random and not necessarily related to the items next to it. So it's not that they move items, but they do place some items so illogically that my brain won't remember where. I can get maybe 80% of my shopping done in 10 minutes, hunting for the remaining 20% can take 20 minutes. Also why doesn't Lidl sell pita bread?
- eru 2y ago> Also why doesn't Lidl sell pita bread? There's lots of stuff they don't sell, keeping the list of items small is part of the strategy of both Aldi and Lidl. Why pita bread in particular didn't make the cut for Lidl, I don't know.
